Where They Missed It.
Illustrated Bits.
It was their first baby.
The mother was in perfect rapture.
It was an ugly baby, but she did
mot know it.
Happy young mother!
All of them are like her!
But the father had dark misgiv
;ngs.
His salary was only two-ten a
veek, and babies are expensive lux
uries.
Her father was rich, but he had
frowned upon their union, and had
heteradox and heretical notions as to
supporting a son-in-law besides.
Cruel old man.
One day. when the baby was about
a month old. the .father came home
.rom his office in the city and found
his wie radiant.
She was not happy when the baby
vas out of her sight.
"What is it, Jennie?" asked her
husband, for he was yet uncertain as
to the blessings conferred by the
baby.
He was also sle-py.
"'Oh. Charlie," she chirruped. "I
heard from papa today."'
Charlie looked gloomier than ever.
"Don't say anything. dear," she
pleaded, for she knew her husband's
opinion of her father. "He has heard
of our baby, and, though he has not
vet determined to forgive us. he has
sent us a check for y pounds for dear
baby's sake."
At first the young husband's face
it up with pleasure. then it shadow
ed again.
"Are you glad, Charlie?" she ask
ed with a quivering lip.
Then he smiled, joyfully.
"Yes, darling," he answered; "but
.,.what a pity it wasn't twins!"
In the Supreme Court.
As the hands of the clock point to
12 the crier of t' e supreme court
of. the United States raps with his
gavel, the mummer of conversat-on
zeases and attorneys, court officials
-and visitors rise while the chief crier
slowly announces. "The honorable
chief justice and the as,ociate jus
tices of the supreme court of the
TJnited States." Robed in black silk
gowns, they walk with slow and digni
fied steps toward the bench as the
chief justice appears at the entrance
to their seats.
At this the crier says: "Oyez!
Oyez! Oyez! .A:1 persons having
business before the honorable chief
justice and the a'ssociate justices of
the supreme court of the Uuited
States are admonished to draw near
Sand give their attention, for the court
is now in sitting. God save the gov
-ernent of the United States and this
~honorable court."
*No man entering the domelike
* ourt room at WVashinigton may wear
his overcoat. Such is the dignity
and impressiveness of that tribunal
that- some men to~ whom emharass
mIent has long been a stranger evi
dence the renewal of their acquaint
ances with it by a stammering speech,
a quickening breath, a nervous man
tier when addressing the court.
She Went Down.
'The man with the bronzed face and
the rolling gait was entertaining an
~attentive circle of acquaintances, ac
'cording to the Galveston Daily News,
when Mr. Jones edged up just in t'ime
to hear the words: "And the ship
went down with all of us on board."
"She went down?" asked Mr. Jones,
- xcitedly.
"Yes, sir," smiled the bronzed fac
- ed man. "She sank slowly, but sure
ly, and scarcely a ripple was left to
mark the spot where she had sunk."
" Bnt where were you?"
"In the captain's cabin."
"'And couldn't you get out ?" again
m ~estioned Mr. Jones.
"Why, no. I never thought of get
*ing out." was the cool answer.
"Oh, 1 suppose it was all so unex
*.ected."
'No, we knew she would go down."
.And how did you escape?"
"I didn't have to escape."
*How's that?" Mr. Jones inquired.
~If the ship sank with all on board,
and there was no chance for you to
escape, how do you expect us to be
liev.e your story when we see you sit
ting here alive and wvell?"
"It was a sub-marine boat," explain
ed the man with the bronzed face.

It Didn't Pay.
A newsboy was strutting along
Walnut street recently when close to
the curb he espied a bright io cent
piece. A benevolent looking gentle
man stood near. The honest boy,
thinking the man had dropped the
:oin, picked it up and offered it to
uim.
The gentleman turned kindly and
not on1v allowed the boy to retain the
:oin, but gave him a quarter; saying:
"Here is a reward for being honest,
ny young man.
The boy trotted off in high spirits.
rhat night he slept little, partly on
iccount of thinking of his good for
:une, and partly because of a scheme
xhic'i his Vuthful brain had hatched.
He would make money deliberately
n the same way as he had accident
illy made it on that day.
It would be necessary to drop a
:n near snie one then the reward
Yould come in the way of a present
or honestv.
The next morning he started off
arly. and seeing a well dressed gen
leman standing at a corner, he softly
ropped a 1o cent piece near the man
;uddenly he said: "Excue me mister,
lid you drop this?"
The gentleman. a noted millionaire,
lanced at the proffered coin. Then
ook it, saying:
"Ah! perhaps I did. I always
iave loose change about me, but I
nust reward you for your honesty."
The boy's heart went pit-a-pat. The
nillionaire fumbled in his pocket till
L car was near. Then he quickly
)ressed a pe-ny into the anxious
)oy's hand and boarded the car.

A girl with a sense of humor always

A gill of prevention is worth a mil

It's odd what big opinions of them

Method in His Madness.
A visitor to the St. Louis exposi
ion congratulated Joseph W. Folk,
he district attorney of the city, upon
he speed with wh'ch he had brought
he "boodle alderman" to trial, says
he San Antonio Express.
"Speed," said Mr. Folk, smiling, "is
en excellent thing, a thing that will
chieve wonders. I heard the other
lay of an Irishman, though; who ex
ected too much of speed.
"This Irishman was a painter
sually being paid by the hour, he
worked rather' slowly, but a friend
ound him painting one day like a
team engine.
"The friend paused to investigate.
o strange a matter.
" 'W\hat's come over ye. McGuire?'

"'Whist.' said McGuire. 'Stand out

Boston People Are Particular.
Success.
Rev. Robert Collyer, whose long
and successful ministerial career has i
been passed chiefly in Chicago and
New York, finds the complete satis
faction of Bostonians in their city a
source of amusement. He says he
once dreamed that he was in the vi- 3
cinity of the pearly gates and saw
two ladies approach, seeking entrance.
"Where are you from?" asked St.
Peter.
"We're both from Boston," replied
one of the ladies.
"Well, you can come in," said St.
Peter. "but you won't like it." A
variation of the same anecdote is the
story of a Boston woman who had
passed within the gates and was tak
ing her first look around.
"It is very nice." she exclaimed;
"very nice. indeed, but"-this with a
sigh-"it isn't Boston."
What Enervated Him.

"Most enervating weathah, this,"
remarked Cholly.
"Yes?" queried Snayley.
"Yass. I thought of a lettah I
had to write this morning. so awfter
a while I thought I'd just get at it,I
but, bah Jove! when I started to do it
I found I hadn't the energy. Beastly

"Whv blame the weather? Per
haps it was those two thoughts in one
day."

The Dtath Penalty.
A little thing sometimes results in
death. Thus a mere scratch, in-sig
niIkant cuts or puny boils have paid
the death penalty. It is wise to have
Bucklen's Arnica Salve ever handy.
tt's the best Salve on earth and will
prevent fatality, when Burns, Sores,
Ulcers and Piles threaten. Only
